Artist who does all the things

Hi, I am Nyssa! I am a 30 year old artist with a BFA in Animation and a passion for creating characters and stories! This is mostly my drawn art.  For my sewn art see my craft blog linked HERE [x] This blog is not 18+ but may contain occasional tasteful nudes. Any reblogs are from my other blogs.  Feel free to message me! :)

Something for @branch-chief–faba as their Faba likes to hug his Raichu when he feels sad. 😢

Some cartoony, scrawny lil PokeSPE Matsu sketches. 💖

Speaking of Repoman AU here is @dessartem ‘s OC Alice (originally from Lego verse funny enough) as a Blind Mag kinda role.

Some very painty beans.  Damn I love drawing his legs.  Also this looks 50x better in full view, please do so. <3

In the Hardenshipping group chat it was mentioned about what ORAS Maxie would look like with RSE Maxie’s hair (like if they never changed his hair style for the remake) so I drew it.  It looks like RSE Maxie stole his clothes haha.  Hard for me to unsee the widows peak as RSE Maxie…

A fairy kei cutie of indeterminate gender. Background candy courtesy of LineCamera. Drawing by me.

I had never drawn Rose Quartz before so I decided to fix that.

I can’t believe Pink Diamond was a freaking 80’s hair rocker chick.

I love pastels, and my fav pastel rainbow thing is Little Twin Stars.  I keep meaning to design more of my own fabric (like I did here [x] ) , or even shirt/skirt designs.  So I come up with my own lil pastel ‘mascot characters’, the kind of thing I’d wanna see on stuff. These guys are based on a plush design of mine, “Sweater Foxes”.  One is a Cowl and another a bunny, and course Rosemary is a Fox. I call these guys the “Fairy Tea Trio” and you can tell by their names why ‘tea’  :’3. I think it’d be cute to draw them all having tea parties or in tea themed things.  I’m sure you will be seeing more of them! And if you like this esthetic follow my craft blog, I make a lot of things like this from plush to accessories and will have more up in the near future.

“Sumi” - 2008 SCAD senior animation - Nyssa Benthin

Full Film [x].

[nyssabenthin]

Had a dream about these lil “flower dragon” toys. I woke up and was so disappointed that they did not really exist, so I tried to draw a few of them! Their heads are all flowers (orchids mostly) and 2 of the petals make their ears.  Their tail is a bud of the same flower.  Some have semi-transparent wings.  Flowers I based these ones on:  [x] , [x] , [x]

I was able to play with new Photoshop for a bit and doodled some Sumi (who was my senior project main character).  I tried some of Kyle’s free brushes, which are loved by many illustrators.  I’ll buy the set next week.  Sumi’s tail is still the same brush I used back in college though, also same for the one Sumi on the left, that is her original ink brush.  The whole film was inked and inbetweened in CS3 using clunky old video layers. :’D
